IND vs WI, 3rd ODI: The three-match ODI series between India and West Indies stands levelled at 1-1. While India won the opening match of the series in Barbados, they succumbed to a shock defeat in the second venue at the same venue after the team's decision of resting captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not yield results. And now the team has arrived in Trinidad where they will lock horns against the home team in the series decider later on Tuesday (August 1).
Ahead of the third and final ODI of this series, a heartwarming video was shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on their social media handle. The video shows Team India members interacting with the West Indian cricket icon Dwayne Bravo and his son upon their arrival in Trinidad. "When in Trinidad 🇹🇹... 🤝 #TeamIndia | #WIvIND | @DJBravo47," the clip was captioned.
Here is the video:
It would be interesting to see whether Team India continue with the same ploy of going without Rohit and Kohli despite a defeat or bank on their experience given that the series is on the line. It was the Indian batting that had let them down in the first ODI and Hardik Pandya who led the side in Rohit's absence in the second ODI had also admitted to the same.
"We didn't bat the way we were supposed to. The wicket was better than it was in the first game. Everyone barring Shubman hit fielders and got out. Disappointing but many things to learn. The way our openers batted, especially Ishan (Kishan), struck it well and is good for India," he had said following the team's 6-wicket defeat.
Notably, Kishan has struck successive fifties in the two matches so far in this series and would look to put in another good score that aids the team in winning the series.
